230) BEYOND THE MASK
(2015 dir. Chad Burns) Date Seen: June 20 2015

THE REDCOATS ARE COMING via MEDIOCRE CGI

It's like THE PATRIOT (2000) meets Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, only it comes with that authenticated "Christian" seal of approval (courtesy Burns Family Studios, LLC). So you get to pat yourself on the back afterwards for witnessing a movie of bona fide faith.

For real though; screenplay so tonally muddled & historically misty-eyed, you'd believe Glenn Beck himself penned the final draft. It's a movie written at the 6th grade level pitched at old evangelicals who still think & feel at that 6th grade level. And all of this before we even begin to complain about the production, craft, staging, etc.
